SafeNet Ethernet Encryptors

	SafeNet Announces 10G Ethernet Encryptor to Protect Data in Transit over Carrier Ethernet
Read more about the 10G Ethernet Encryptor	Reduce cost and complexity of network encryption Optimum bandwidth utilization Central key and policy management Effortless audit and compliance reporting

Financial institutions, government agencies, and telecommunications companies transmit large volumes of sensitive data over high-speed Ethernet WANs that connect offices, data centers, and disaster recovery sites. The SafeNet Ethernet Encryptors enable government agencies, departments, and contractors to easily secure high-speed core networks with minimal administrative and network overhead. 

SafeNet Ethernet Encryptors deliver the following benefits:

• Proven compliance with mandates
• Full bandwidth utilization
• Lowest cost through centralized management
• Streamlined integration for rapid results
• Effortless audit and compliance reporting
• 360-degree security with Enterprise Data Protection

The SafeNet family of high-speed encryption products provides the assurance of FIPS and Common Criteria-certified security. Designed to support the growing movement towards these Ethernet services, the Ethernet Encryptors secure sensitive data more efficiently than higher layer protocols, thereby lowering the cost of network security and compliance. In the current economic environment, companies are looking to reduce cost and complexity of compliance. As carriers are providing more Layer 2 network services, encryption at layer 2 such as Ethernet, is the superior solution to protecting data in transit over the WAN where it can be done with low latency and with no additional increase in bandwidth.

SafeNet Ethernet Encryptors offer central management that provide ease of administration and audit reporting across multiple circuits and network protocols. SafeNet is the world’s only provider of a complete portfolio of Ethernet security solutions—from 10Gbps network encryption appliances for enterprise, telecommunications, and government organizations to embedded security systems for network equipment manufacturers.

SafeNet Ethernet Encryptor is a key component of SafeNet’s comprehensive enterprise data protection solution to reduce the cost and complexity of regulatory compliance, data privacy, and information risk management. For more information, visit www.safenet-inc.com/EDP.
